Noobsaibot73 (Madrid (Spain))

Hi Chris,

What a pity !!!! Here in Spain, Amstrad supported the CPC until 1994, when the CPC''s and the rest of the 8 bits computers disappeared.

please helptrying to convert 8bit video for sam coupethis is still not mode 3 interlaced with hmpr bit 5$6 CLUT alterations per scan line HELP we only need a DMA...masterdos/basic atom lite support HELP

About the 464 / 6128+ you made a few mistakes :the computer does not have 64 hardware sprites, but only 16 at a size of 16x16 pixels. The sprites are using 15 other colors than the 16 of the palette, and have x/y zoom.

The soundchip is the same AY as on the CPC, but controlable with a DMA : it is not "better than the Atari one", it is the same, but slower, and connected in stereo.
